Solved What is the maximum Wattage PSU needed for the parts below

as to power supply, I'd be getting at least 650watts, 80+ Gold certified with at least 5 year warranty.
any brand that has that is worth getting.
if you think you'd be adding more devices, components or upgrading the graphics card down the track, think about getting a 850watt or so.
as to lags and bottlenecks - you have a 2nd gen i3 processor, small SSD, small HDD and a vintage motherboard that only supports 8GB max RAM, SATAII not SATAIII, USB2 not USB3, DDR3 not DDR4, old PCI-x bus lanes, the older 1155 processor socket, an old H61 chipset, no extra 4 or 8 pin CPU power header, for starters - not that there is anything wrong with any of that, BUT, it does mean that any upgrade path will have limitations and playing modern games on a 8'ish year old processor WILL have speed issues.

what are your plans for that PC?
